Individuals who wish to pay by Debit/Credit card or by using their Checking/Savings account can now make these payments through Authority TaxConnect. Authority TaxConnect is now available to individual taxpayers and will allow them to create a secure login, review their tax balances for each year and make payments. If you use your Debit/Credit card to make a payment, you will be directed to the “Official Payments” landing page and will be charged a 2.5% fee.

To make a payment using your Checking/Savings account you must contact the City of Toledo Taxation and Treasury Department at (419) 245-1662 to register your bank account information before you will be able to use TaxConnect. There is no charge for this service.

Payroll services and employers should use the Ohio Business Gateway or ACH Addenda to pay withholding taxes. Please do not use Authority TaxConnect for these types of payments.
